Before we read the the comments below, listen to Barney Frank’s comments (56 seconds) and you decide. Who are we to believe, the consummate congenital liar Barney Frank, or the Secretary of State of MA. More important which is more likely to happen. Barney Frank needs to be thrown out of office when his term comes up. Random thoughts while observing the passing parade, J.C.

– Massachusetts’s top election official says it could take weeks to certify the results of the upcoming U.S. Senate special election. That delay could let President Barack Obama preserve a key 60th vote for his health care overhaul even if the Republican who has vowed to kill it wins Democrat Edward M. Kennedy’s former seat.

Secretary of State William F. Galvin, citing state law, says city and town clerks must wait at least 10 days for absentee ballots to arrive before they certify the results of the Jan. 19 election. They then have five more days to file the returns with his office.

Galvin bypassed the provision in 2007 so his fellow Democrats could gain a House vote they needed to override a veto of then-Republican President George W. Bush, but the secretary says U.S. Senate rules would preclude a similar rush today.

The potential delay has become a rallying point for the GOP, which argues Democrats have been twisting the rules to pass the health care bill despite public opposition. It’s also prompted criticism from government watchdogs.

“We believe that elections should be by the people and for the people, and when the people have spoken, the system ought not be politicized,” said Common Cause President Bob Edgar, a former member of Congress. “If the Republican wins, the person should be seated immediately. If the Democrat wins, the person should be seated immediately.” Complete Story:

Barney Frank is an arrogant, condescending, prick that has been in his position far too long.
The reason these assholes in the house stay there for so long is because of gerrymandering.
This is why the census is so important this year.
They (libs) are afraid that they are going to lose a lot of their base due to the radical movements of Obama and his socialistic policies.

If you were wondering what the motives of the democrats are, then just simply look at their actions… ignoring the popular sentiment AGAINST socialized healthscare, threatening to delay a bonafide senate seat in MASS, a smear campagne hard packed with ourtight lies, and the list goes on. An honorable statesman like Scott Brown would respect the office of US Senator and not insult the people of the commonwealth by lying in their face like Ms. Coakley. Already she brags about supposedly saving us a billion while she is poised to waste a TRILLION on this healthcare disaster bill… In fact her actions in MASS have only served to punish innocent companies and not the real neglegent ones. She is a bag of gas and it completely blows my mind that people don’t see through her lies and deception. One only needs to watch these corrupt democrats in action… there is no need to get input from the TV commentators in order to see their infuriating and insulting condescending attitudes.
Simply ask – Why do they say what they say? – When are they saying it? – Have I heard these cliches before ? It is so self serving I want to throw up. But wait… when there aren’t enough doctors to go around any more, I can’t get sick. I might be waiting for 18 hours in the ER to get some Tums.
